Tail o' Bank pub staff to climb three mountains in a day for Macmillan

The team at the Tail O’ The Bank are taking part in a gruelling hike to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

On Thursday June 1, staff will attempt to climb the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales in 24 hours – known as the National Three Peaks challenge.

Later next month, they will also be running a fundraising raffle with ‘fantastic’ prizes on offer.

Items such as a signed Skerryvore CD, various hampers, Club 3000 VIP bingo tickets and more are up for grabs.

Raffle tickets cost £1 each and are available in the pub.

The draw will be made on Saturday June 10.

There will also be a second raffle where entrants can donate £5 to be in with the chance to win a signed Morton football shirt.

Greene King, the pub’s owner, has previously raised £14million for Macmillan during its 10-year partnership with the charity.

Earlier this year, it was announced that the first £1m raised in 2023 will go towards supporting Macmillan’s Emergency Grants Appeal, which provides essential financial assistance for people living with cancer during the cost-of-living crisis.

Lindsay Hoey, general manager at the Tail O’ The Bank, said: “We are really looking forward to hosting raffle and welcoming our customers to help us raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

"Sadly, one in two people will get cancer in their lifetime and events like these are a great way to involve the local community and support such an important cause.”

Rachel Gascoigne of Macmillan added: “Our partnership with Greene King has been so successful and it’s because of events like these.

"We are grateful to Tail O’ The Bank and their customers for their support and wish them all the best for their fundraising event.”
